Google's Android Wear 2 update will place artificial intelligence in the company's wearables for the first time.

Android Wear 2.0, which will begin rolling out to all current Android Wear smartwatch users "in the coming weeks", will include Google Assistant, the tech giant's AI virtual helper which responds to voice commands.

The first official devices that could ship with Google's Android Wear 2 might be unveiled at Mobile World Congress at the end of the month.
